The Solitary Tree by Casper David Friedrich, 1822


The forest is as powerful a forest in the painting of the period as in in literature, as we can see in work by the great romantic painter Casper David Friedrich en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspar_David_Friedrich ‘Der Einsame Baum,’ or ‘The Solitary Tree,’ painted in 1822. In the middle distance, set in a gentle green plain, is a village; in the background, a mountain range. And in the centre, in the foreground, dominating the composition, is a lone oak, its upper part battered and damaged, its lower branches in full leaf, giving shelter to a shepherd and his flock. Will Vaughan has studied the significance of his painting for German National consciousness. ~ Page 120
